Make a Roux: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk in the flour until it forms a paste.
Add Spices: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Combine: Gradually whisk in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
